Zhuang Yancai transferred 50 million of the money in the bank card to the company's account, and there was good news from Yao Qian's side, the film and television adaptation of "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta" has been negotiated with Yanjing Fine Arts Film Studio.

8.5 million is the final price negotiated between Yao Qian and Yanjing Fine Arts Film Studio.

This price is already very high, and the copyright fee for film and television adaptation on the market now, even if it is a big IP, is between three hundred and five million.

Only a particularly good IP will have such a high price.

When talking about the adaptation, Yao Qian talked to several studios, but when it came to talking, it was Yanjing Studio that was the most sincere.

Of course, sincerity does not only refer to money, during the negotiations, in addition to playing the emotional card, Yanjing Studio also made a ten-minute animated sample for Zhuang Yan to see.

They had previously made a promotional video for "The Adventures of Shuck and Beta", and naturally had a unique advantage in this regard.

Zhuang Yan was very satisfied after watching the samples, because the technology was more advanced, so the samples they gave were much better than the old cartoons in the previous life, both in terms of character models and the texture of the picture.

Moreover, Yenching Fine Arts Film Studio also said that if they can get the film and television adaptation rights of "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta", they will produce a multilingual version and screen it simultaneously around the world.

This is what impresses Zhuang Yan the most, compared to the 8.5 million in copyright fees, making multilingual versions and showing them all over the world is the real money.

Whether it is the cost of production or the cost of channel rollout, it cannot be a small amount.

Since Yanjing Studios can give such a promise, it can be seen that they are indeed very optimistic about the prospects of "The Adventures of Shuck and Beta".

In fact, Zhuang Yan's requirements for copyright fees are not high, 8.5 million sounds like a lot, but for Zhuang Yan, it is really nothing.

"The Adventures of Shuck and Beta" will have a total of ten volumes, and it is a children's book, and the price of a single copy is already high, and if you sell one copy, Zhuang Yan can get the same amount of money as selling a copy of "Alive".

As long as the cartoon of "Shuke and Beta" is broadcast, it will inevitably drive a wave of physical book sales, and the sales share that this frenzy can bring to Zhuang Yan is definitely not comparable to 8.5 million.

In addition to these substantive things, being able to make a multilingual cartoon is a symbol of honor in itself.

Think about it, this kind of good thing that can be both famous and profitable, can Zhuang Yan disagree?

Just when the film and television adaptation of "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta" was just being discussed, Zhuang Yan received another call from Wang Lijian and got another piece of news that made him very excited.

"Good news for you, you have to find a place to sit tight. ”

Wang Lijian said such a sentence at the beginning, which made Zhuang Yan feel a little inexplicable, "Brother Wang, what good news, I still have to find a place to sit firmly?"

"I'm afraid you'll faint if you're too excited. Wang Lijian laughed, and said in a slightly excited voice, "You have won the award!"

"What news should I have, do I still win fewer awards? I think Brother Wang, you have regressed, what award do you want to come and tell me?"

Zhuang Yan seems a little indifferent, to be honest, in China, except for the four major awards, there are no awards in his eyes. He is telling the truth, he has received countless awards during this time, large and small, and there are a lot of awards that he has never heard of.

However, these awards are not grand prizes, and they are dispensable for Zhuang Yan. At first, he was a little happy to hear that he had won the award, but then he became numb after more times.

But the four awards will not be awarded to him, there is no way, his age is too young, if the organizing committee is not sick in the brain, he will never let him win the award.

But Wang Lijian's next sentence made him almost lose his footing.

"This time is different, this time it is the Pu Songling Award. Wang Lijian said excitedly.

Zhuang Yan was taken aback, Pu Songling Award! This is an award comparable to the Lu Xun Literature Award, and it is the highest honor for short and medium stories in China today.

After being stunned for a while, Zhuang Yan felt that something was wrong, and wondered: "No, how could the four big ones give me an award, they ......"

"Do you want to say that their brains are broken?" Wang Lijian smiled: "Haha, when I first heard the news, I really reacted exactly like you, and when their brains were broken." If you do win the award, what does it mean? It means that the age of the winner of the Pu Songling Literary Award will be refreshed by 20 years, and you will become the youngest winner in history. ”

Zhuang Yan still couldn't believe it, "Is the news true, it won't be an oolong incident, which book did I win the award?"

If it is a long-form award, Zhuang Yan will not ask, but for the short-form award, Zhuang Yan has now released two copies of "Metamorphosis" and "Border City", both of which may win awards.

Wang Lijian said: "Of course the news is true, I heard that your "Metamorphosis" and "Border City" were both selected, but in the end, I still chose "Border City", after all, "Border City" and "Metamorphosis" are not the same. ”

It turned out to be "Border City", and it was right to think about it, after all, "Border City" describes the story of a border town, which is a little more ethnic in terms of content.

Hearing Wang Lijian say that the news was true, Zhuang Yan's heart was also a little fixed, "The judges of this year's Pu Songling Award are really courageous, didn't they take my age into account at all?"

"Of course, I heard that at the beginning, the organizing committee wanted to make "Metamorphosis" win the award, but it was because of your age that "Metamorphosis" was put aside in the end. Now you're out of Bordertown, and they're having to put your name back on the shortlist. You know, this year's short and medium stories are overshadowed in front of these two articles. Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan nodded suddenly, it turned out that there was still such a thing. Wang Lijian's relationship once again impressed Zhuang Yan, and I have to say that the editor-in-chief of a world literary website still has a strong interpersonal relationship.

Otherwise, why could he have learned about the winners in advance, and he could have found out such a secret message?

"There's one more thing I'd like to mention to you. Wang Lijian said, "In addition to "Border City" itself, the Writers' Association also played a role in the middle, although it did not play a decisive role, but the judges' attitude changed, and this force definitely played a role in the middle. ”

"It seems that of course I joined the Writers' Association, which is still very useful. Zhuang Yan said with a smile, he was in a good mood now.

Wang Lijian also smiled, "I said this, but I didn't want to ask you for credit." ”
